Sahih Muslim Book - 18, Hadith - 3713

وَحَدَّثَنِى إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِى بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِى الْجَهْمِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ قَيْسٍ تَقُولُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَىَّ زَوْجِى أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِى رَبِيعَةَ بِطَلاَقِى وَأَرْسَلَ مَعَهُ بِخَمْسَةِ آصُعِ تَمْرٍ وَخَمْسَةِ آصُعِ شَعِيرٍ فَقُلْتُ أَمَا لِى نَفَقَةٌ إِلاَّ هَذَا وَلاَ أَعْتَدُّ فِى مَنْزِلِكُمْ قَالَ لاَ. قَالَتْ فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَىَّ ثِيَابِى وَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ « كَمْ طَلَّقَكِ ». قُلْتُ ثَلاَثًا. قَالَ « صَدَقَ لَيْسَ لَكِ نَفَقَةٌ. اعْتَدِّى فِى بَيْتِ ابْنِ عَمِّكِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ تُلْقِى ثَوْبَكِ عِنْدَهُ فَإِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُكِ فَآذِنِينِى ». قَالَتْ فَخَطَبَنِى خُطَّابٌ مِنْهُمْ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ. فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ تَرِبٌ خَفِيفُ الْحَالِ وَأَبُو الْجَهْمِ مِنْهُ شِدَّةٌ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ - أَوْ يَضْرِبُ النِّسَاءَ أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا - وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكِ بِأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ».

It was narrated that Abu Bakr bin Abi Al-Jahm said: "I heard Fatimah bint Qais say: 'My husband Abu 'Amr bin Hafs bin Al-Mughirah sent 'Ayyash bin Abi Rabi'ah to me with word of my divorce, and he sent with him five Sa's of dates and five Sa's of barley. I said: "Do I get no maintenance other than this? And am I not to observe my 'Iddah in your home?" He said: "No." She said: "I got dressed and went to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). He said: 'How many times has he divorced you?' I said: 'Three.' He said: 'He is right, you are not entitled to maintenance. Observe your 'Iddah in the house of your cousin 'Amr bin Umm Maktum, for he is blind and you can take off your garments there. When your 'Iddah is over, let me know.' Some men proposed to me, including Mu'awiyah and Abu Al-Jahm. The Prophet (s.a.w) said to me: 'Mu'awiyah is poor and destitute, and Abu Al-Jahm is harsh towards women' - or 'he beats women,' or words to that effect - 'but you should marry Usamah bin Zaid."'
